Charlie Nessels Protect a Pile OF
Stones From Thieves.

Say, boss; dey's a butcher up hyar
what has freatened to kill me wifi a re-
solver exclaimed an agitated and al
most exhausted darkey as be rushed up
to Policeman Nolan at the city hall yes
terday.
The officer questioned the frightened
colored man and soon learned that the
~well-known and usually peaceable Charlie
Nessels was the alleged blood-rhirsty in
dividual.
Nessels resides in a small cottage on
west Fifteenth street, belonging to old
man Doane. On the premises is a large
pile OF building stone. Doane disposed
of the material, but did not deem it nee
essary to apprise his tenant of the trans
action. When two colored men and a
white laborer attempted to remove the
stone yesterday morning Nessels supposed
that they were adding the crime of theft
to tho offense of trespass and ordered
them to leave the place.
The trio sought to convince the occu-
pant of the place that they wree law abid
ing citizens pursuing a peaceful avocation,
but Nessels refused to approve their YER
bal credentials. Determined to protect
the property of his landlord at all hazards,
Charlie entered his residence and pro
cured a specimen of the ancient weapon
styled a horse pistol. Leveling the FIRE
arm at the presumed intruders he ordered
them to vacate. They left at once, and
lodged the charge of coercion against the
guardian of the quarry product.
An officer visited the scene of contem-
plated bloodshed, explained the situation
to the force garrisoning Fort Nessels, CON
vincing the bellicose Charles that the sons
OF Africa's burning sands were not day
light robbers, but honest workmen.

The Light at Bucna Vista Bridge.
EDITOR HERALD About six months
ago, according to suggestion in the
HERALD, the City Council ordered an
electric mast and light at the western
end of Buena Vista bridge. The mast
and light were necessities that needed
no explanation or argument. The
mast was bought and is ON the ground,
but has never been set up and util-
lied. The necessity of a light at that
place is greater now than before, for
in addition to the constant switching
and passage of trains at that place
during the night, of two railways, with
no light in the vicinity, the City
Water Company is now digging a
trench at that place to contain its
great thirty-inch pipe. These circum-
stances make a light an absolute me-
cessity. 1t will not do to wait till an
accident happens before the light is
put in use the time to do it is neW.

iBy Telegraph to The Aahoviro CitiESR.l
DANvILLE, Nov. 19.-The Metho-
dist Conference to day passed the fol-
lowing resolutions by a rising vote /:
" Whereas, The Methodist Episco-
pal Church South has always borne
strong testimony against theatres.
Whereas, The patronizing of theat-
rlcal exhibitions by protesting chris
tians has by recent occurrences been
given unusual prominence.
Whereas, The situation seems to
Justify an expression of opinion on
this subject by the conference, there
fore,
Resolved, That we are profoundly
convinced of the evil character and
influence of the theatre and of it's
power as a promoter of irreligion,
Immortality and vice.
Resolved, That we most affec
tionally and earnestly exhort our peo.
pie to set their faces against this
thing as aifTersicn which tztSnot bS
used in the name of the Lord Jesus.

TIE CHARGE AGAINST DEPUTY MARSHAL

TIE CHARGE AGAINST DEPUTY MARSHAL
CHA5TAIS.
Upon the assembling of the Federal
Court rather startling rumor was cir
cuIated that deputy marshal Chastain Of
Clay brought white and colorei prison
ers 10 the court tied together; that there
was no occasion for such extrems meas
ure; the charge against both was only a
nisdemcanor, and the white man was an
inoffensive man quiet and well-nannsred
and illiterate almost to idiocy. The quiet
character and ignorance of the man was
considered az an aggravation of the con-
duct of the deputy Of tying him to bring
him to court; and the fact that he was
tied to negro was denounced as very
unp2rdonable. Hearing this report
Marshal Settle investigated it. and re-
quested District Attorney Jones to in
vest; gate it in open court. The white
man was put on trial, for resisting an
officer; it was proved he was desperate
character, had struck his wife SO violent
" as to cause death in a little Thile; that
he had nearly killed another party with
footadZ, and when deputy ChasJain
approached him to arrest him he again
called his footsdz into requisition and
threatened to use it on the deputy. if be
approached him. In consequence of this
disposition to violence when the deputy
started with him to court he tied him to
prevent either violence or escape.
1t WAS positively denied that the
man and negro were tied together,
both were tisd, but net attached TO each
other. The man VISA convicted Of the
offence whereEith he was charged, and
the Judge declared the depatY not only
did right i'll tieing him, bnF vas to be
commended.
A man who deliberately violates law
may expect to be-. as he certaialy ought
to be, unprecedented, brought 10 trial and
punished. Whatever one mzy think of
& law ITSELF go long as it is law, it should
and must be respected, and should and
must DE properly enforced. We are as
much opposed to the Thole-revenue
system SIS any one can be, but 80 long as
it remains tho law of the land it must be
observed, both in submission thereto and
thereof. Too many trivial
cases, based on technical violations, are
sent up to the court; but ne should cay,
in justice to the court, it is uniformly
in such cases. In regard TO
Deputy ChAstain we were told by nen
who declared they saw with their own
eyes that the white man was tied to g
negro prisoner. Thig waS proyen i'll
court to have been absolutely false. We
publish this, therefore. TO do justice to
the deputy, and to truth.

from bad political hands. and young
North Carolina ably and emphati-

in the House. Some years ago he
removed to Granville county, from
which Vance county was subse>
